DP-300 Certification Practice Question #278

Question

You have an Azure subscription that contains the resources shown in the following table.

You need to configure a connection between VM1 and MI1. The solution must meet the following requirements:
✑ The connection must be encrypted.
✑ Network latency must be minimized.
What should you implement?

Accepted Answer

To connect a virtual machine in one region (`West US 2`) to an Azure SQL Managed Instance in another region (`East US`) while minimizing latency and ensuring data encryption, Private Endpoints (via Azure Private Link) are the optimal choice. Private Endpoints allow the VM to connect to the Managed Instance using a private IP address inside the VM's virtual network, keeping all traffic within Microsoft's secure private backbone network. This provides much lower latency than a VPN gateway and ensures a secure, private communication path.
